Primarily, it is any liquid fuel that is combusted or burned in a furnace or boiler for heat generation, or used in an engine for power generation. It is of prime importance that these fuel oils must have a definite viscosity, specific gravity, calorific value, and flash point to obtain better operational efficiency. The fuel oils, whether light, medium, heavy or mixed, are leftover from the refining process. Thus, fuel oils generally contain high proportion of the components know as cat fines. These cat fines can increase the wear and tear of an engine. The cat fines further can also absorb contaminants from the transport and storage chain.
